There’s little to complain about with the audio the music is enjoyable to listen to and the Japanese voice acting is strong without standing out. There are loading screens that take a few seconds, but otherwise its performance is strong as well the animations, especially during special attacks, are appropriately flashy and the game looks smooth in motion. The game looks great in handheld mode, with lots of details on the character models, environments, animations, and UI. The visuals are where Touken Ranbu Warriors gets its highest marks. As players go through the game, they also unlock bonus conversations that add some nice touches to the characters and their relationships within the group. The character designs are all distinct, very handsome, and well brought to life. Although western RPGamers may not know the exact history and characters behind the Touken Danshi at the start, the game does a fine job ensuring their personalities are well represented and in giving certain members interesting personal stories when they encounter the figures that wielded them. What largely saves the narrative side of things are the characters and the interactions between them. There’s some initial interest in learning about the historical battles, but it definitely wanes towards the latter chapters. Things steadily diverge further throughout the chapters, until the coherence of their overarching narrative largely falls over as the attempts to fix history end up playing second fiddle to the story of a sixteenth Touken Danshi. What the HRA actually are and the purpose of their goals are never examined instead players are simply tasked with defeating them and those who have fallen under their influence to ensure history plays out as it should. The game’s story is divided into five main chapters, each focusing on a subset of the Touken Danshi and the battles concerning particular figures such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

However, the Touken Danshi’s master has disappeared, and a mystical fox called Konnosuke steps in to give them new orders from the government to investigate a series of battles targeted by the HRA during the late Sengoku period. The group lives in a honmaru, and should be under the command of a master.
In the year 2205, these Touken Danshi are tasked with protecting history from the nefarious forces of the History Retrograde Army, which seeks to go back in time and change the outcomes of important conflicts for unspecified purposes. Touken Ranbu Warriors follows a group of fifteen male Touken Danshi, anthropomorphic versions of legendary swords. Unfortunately, while the Touken Ranbu characters and stylings are certainly likable and engaging, the dilution of any challenge and depth to the gameplay make Touken Ranbu Warriors an ultimately uninspiring experience. If nothing else, the subject of handsome swordsmen in historical Japan certainly feels like a natural place for the gameplay to slot in. However, both series are popular in Japan, resulting in the idea coming coming in first place in a Japanese game magazine reader survey for a new Warriors crossover. DMM Games’ browser title Touken Ranbu is perhaps the most unexpected title so far to have combined with Omega Force’s Warriors gameplay, at least in the west.
